Results of bad communication:



  • Falling sales - if the business is not getting the message through to customers accurately.
  • Disruption of supplies - poor or incorrect communication with suppliers can lead to a breakdown in the supply chain
  • The environment - if the business is not communicating its commitment to the local and wider environment this can result in bad publicity
  • Effects on the workforce - staff can become demotivated and look to leave if they feel they are not being kept in the picture regarding the businesses successes/problems
  • Effects on productivity & efficiency - demotivated staff may underperform and if staff turnover is high there will need to be a lot of retraining to get new staff to the right level of productivity and efficiency
  • Bad Publicity - A struggling business will find that bad publicity reduces customer confidence and customers may go elsewhere
